This looks pretty bitchin’. It has figured mahogany back and sides with Adirondack top. The neck only has very small flourishes — single inlays on the 5,7 & 9 frets.

I met Ruth and Richard Rogers with Nori Starck and friends in Venice a few years ago. We bumped into the Rogers near Harry’s Bar and they later stopped by where we were staying. They had been to the pallazo where “The Merchant of Venice (2004)’ was filmed; the brilliantly directed and acted film byContinue reading “RR. 22 Jul 2013.”

Roy Lichtenstein opened at the Pompidou Center on 3 July and runs through November. When artists had original ideas and actually executed those original ideas themselves. Weird, huh?
